They’re human beings who happen to have gleefully committed Hundreds of violent crimes against citizens they’re supposed to protect, and they’re basically given free reign to do so.
Take the following - think about every single one of the human beings taking turns beating a completely subdued, incapacitated and probably unconscious person:

I could've picked from a few hundred similar clips, there's so many. And yet nothing will come of this. This conflict won’t ever be resolved until the police take responsibility for this sort of brutality. And they won’t, so it’ll periodically die down and simmer until another atrocity is committed and it’ll boil over again and again ad infinitum.
We can empathise with the police all we want, but this will just keep happening until someone steps in and puts an end to it. I have NO idea what that would look like, I know that when Georgia (i.e. former USSR country) had problems with their police they completely disbanded it and set it up again. Hopefully there's a less disruptive route than that but I honestly do not know.
